Description

In a world 10 years into the future, vampires make up the vast majority of the population with only 5% of the human race
remaining. This presents particular challenges as the vampires' food supply - human blood - is dwindling and rationing
is now the norm. There is growing evidence that vampires deprived of an adequate blood supply are themselves evolving
into wild, vile creatures that attack anyone and anything in order to survive. Dr. Edward Dalton, a vampire and
hematologist who works for a pharmaceutical firm, has been working on finding an artificial blood supply that will meet
the vampire society's needs. He is sympathetic to humans and sees his work as a way of alleviating their suffering but
his views on finding a solution change considerably when he meets someone who found a way to transform himself from
being a vampire to again take human form.
